45 mph in that thing sounds terrifying.

And I'm a motorcycle rider.

The closer you are to the ground, the faster it feels like you're moving. 45 in that thing probably feels like 80 in a regular car.

I have a '79 Corvette. It's very close to the ground.

I've occasionally described driving fast in it as "visceral."
